The Howard Chair epitomizes English country house interiors. Our
handmade copy is upholstered in the traditional way in our own Somerset
workshop. The price is
fully inclusive apart from the price of the fabric. We are agents for many fabric
manufacturers and are happy to arrange for fabric samples to be sent to you or
we can cover in
your own fabric. Leathers samples are also available
if required. Loose covers are available. Delivery is by carrier and invoiced separately. Please stipulate whether you require
turned legs or tapered legs with or without castors which have either brown or
white ceramic wheels or brass wheels. *Please allow for extra fabric if your choice has a large repeat.

All
Howard Chairs are built in the traditional manner using experienced craftsmen and
the finest quality materials. All frames are solid beech and hand finished.
Legs are French polished and hand waxed providing a rich texture. Seats and
backs have double cone springs sewn to jute webbing throughout, fixed at the
waist and the top to maintain balance and support. A cane edge is formed to
stabilize the front of the seat, Hessian is then stitched in place and fixed
overall. The top cover is fixed and stitched over an insulation/padding of
rubberized hair and cotton felt prior to covering. Cushion fillings are 100%
white china duck feather with other options available. Castors are solid
brass with ceramic wheels in brown or white. Legs are turned or tapered. All
materials conform to British Standard Regulations. We can arrange delivery with carriers. We at Acorn Antiques also
provide period Howard Sofas and period Howard Chairs when in stock as well
as Victorian Sofas, Leather Sofas, Leather Chairs, Howard Stools, Antique
Sofas and Antique Chairs. We can also reproduce contemporary designs and
offer a bespoke furniture service. Email or ring to discuss your
